Pass Variable from View to Form Django - django

Question

Basically i am sending email to user with password and username. I can get the username using self.cleaned_data.get('email'). But the problem is that i dont know how to get password from view which i am setting random password in views. So please help me to get that random password from views.py to forms.py in def send_email
Forms.py
class UserRegisterForm(forms.ModelForm):
email = forms.EmailField()
first_name = forms.CharField()
last_name = forms.CharField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['first_name','last_name', 'email']
def send_email(self):
name = self.cleaned_data.get('first_name')
username = self.cleaned_data.get('email')
to_email = self.cleaned_data.get('email')
password1 = # Get Password from view
Views.py
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
ur_form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST)
pr_form = UserProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
user_role = 0
if ur_form.is_valid() and pr_form.is_valid():
new_user = ur_form.save(commit=False)
new_user.username = new_user.email
password = User.objects.make_random_password() # Pass This to Form send_email
new_user.set_password(password)
new_user.save()

Pass the random password to the form at the time of form initialization and handle that in your UserRegisterForm form by overriding the __init__() method
Try this
# form.py
class UserRegisterForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self._pwd = kwargs.pop('pwd', None)
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
email = forms.EmailField()
first_name = forms.CharField()
last_name = forms.CharField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email']
def send_email(self):
name = self.cleaned_data.get('first_name')
username = self.cleaned_data.get('email')
to_email = self.cleaned_data.get('email')
password1 = self._pwd # access your password from view
# views.py
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
random_password = generate_your_random_password() # generate password here
ur_form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST, pwd=random_password)
pr_form = UserProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
user_role = 0
if ur_form.is_valid() and pr_form.is_valid():
new_user = ur_form.save(commit=False)
new_user.username = new_user.email
new_user.set_password(random_password) # set the random password here
new_user.save()
# your code ....
